Courthouse, VA Real Estate

As its name suggests, Courthouse is home to Arlington County’s administrative complexes, government buildings and courthouse. The Courthouse community is located in central Arlington, and is bound on the north by Wilson Boulevard. Courthouse is prominently platted on one of the highest hills in Arlington County. This geographical feature played to the Union Army’s advantage during the American Civil War. The area of Courthouse was incorporated into the Arlington Line (a defense network) with the construction of Fort Woodbury. A plaque near the Arlington Courthouse commemorates the site.
